Positioning Racks and Bakeware
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
Bakeware
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2"
(5
cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure that
no bakeware piece is directly over another.
Racks
■ Position racks before turning on the oven.
■ Do not position racks with bakeware on them.
■ Make sure racks are level.
To position a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front
edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a
guide.
The oven has 5 positions for a flat rack, as shown in the previous
illustration and the following table.
For hamburger patties to have a well-seared exterior and a rare
interior, use rack position
5. Side 1 should cook for approximately
2½ to 3½ minutes. Side 2 should cook for approximately 4 to
5
minutes. Expect a moderate degree of smoke when broiling.
Multiple Rack Cooking
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4 for regular baking.
2-rack (convection only): Use rack positions 2 and 4.
Baking Cookies and Layer Cakes on 2 Racks
Baking Layer Cakes
For best results when baking cakes on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 4
with the Bake function. Place the cakes on the racks as shown.
Baking Cookies
For best results when baking cookies on 2 racks, use racks 2 and 4
with Convect Bake.
Split Oven Rack
(On Some Models)
Split-Rack with Removable Insert
The split-rack with removable insert is a space maximizer. When
the two are attached, they make a full rack. The insert can also be
removed to provide room for large items such as a turkey and
casseroles. Do not place more than 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on the
split-rack.
The insert can also be used on the counter as a cooling rack.
If you would like to purchase a split-rack, one may be ordered. See
“Accessories” section to order.
To Use Racks:
1. Place a full rack in the lower section of the oven and position
the split-rack above it.
2. Place large items on the right side of the full rack.
3. Place deeper, covered dishes on the left side of the full rack.
4. Place shallow dishes on the split-rack.
5. When finished cooking, slowly remove items.
Oven Vent
The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and
should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the oven
vent will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning
results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or
burn near the oven vent.
